Earl Tex Clark, a 42-year-old husband and father, was reported missing from his Aurora, Colorado home on September 18, 1995. Nancy Clark told police he had been depressed and might be suicidal and that he owned a .38 caliber pistol when he disappeared. Earl is described as white, 5 feet 10 inches, 180 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes, eyeglasses and a scar above his left eye.

The investigation has been complicated by conflicting statements and uncooperative witnesses. Nancy’s cooperation waned; she later said Earl was not missing and claimed to have seen him in Denver as late as August 2008 and also said he had moved to Australia, a claim investigators disproved. A silver 1989 Toyota pickup owned by Nancy but driven by Earl was later involved in a crash in Globe, Arizona, driven at the time by fugitive Dwayne Arvid Schmidt, who refused to cooperate and has since died.

Authorities have pursued DNA samples from Clark family members in Nebraska and Minnesota and consider the case open while believing Earl is deceased. What information might anyone have about Earl’s movements in September 1995 or about the truck’s route to Arizona?
